Conference Rationale and Objective

Climate change is being experienced in many parts of the world. At the same time there is a continuous increase in the demand for energy. The availability of alternative, green, or sustainable energy production and technologies have not reversed the economies’ growing external effects on ecosystems. Many analysts argue that an increasing awareness of environmental values can lead to changes in consumer behavior and policy. This conference is especially interested in cultural, religious and philosophical/ethical values related to sustainable, intergenerational, caretaking, organic, and holistic approaches to nature that are currently (and had been traditionally) emerging in the ASEAN region. This conference aims at detecting, discussing, (r)evaluating, and disseminating environmental values emerging in the ASEAN region in 1) current interdisciplinary discourses and in 2) traditional contexts of religions and cultures. The conference hopes to explore possibilities for promoting alternative/sustainable energy production and responsible energy consumption.
